From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A lawyer, according to Black's Law Dictionary, is "a person learned in the law; as an attorney, counsel or solicitor; a person licensed to practice law." Law is the system of rules of conduct established by the sovereign government of a society to correct wrongs, maintain the stability of political and social authority, and deliver justice. Working as a lawyer involves the practical application of abstract legal theories and knowledge to solve specific individualized problems, or to advance the interests of those who retain (i.e., hire) lawyers to perform legal services. The role of the lawyer varies significantly across legal jurisdictions, and so it can be treated here in only the most general terms. More information is available in country-specific articles (see below). From Wikipedia under the

Q. lets just say the person they are defending has admited they are guilty of a mass murder why would a lawyer still back them and try and get them a lower sentence? seems wrong to me, even though i guess its all about money like what if the person got out early because of the lawyer and killed the lawyers family, would they deserve it? Asked by Northville07 - Mon Oct 15 09:01:12 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's not about the money. It's about the need for a barrier between the government saying "put that tool in jail forever" and the law saying that there needs to be a good reason. Thomas More's son-in-law yelled at him one day saying, "You would give the devil himself due process of law!" Saint Thomas's reply: "I would indeed, for my own safety's sake. Take away due process and who among us could stand against the storm that would follow." The hypothetical you pose is of course ludicrous. Consider, however, that karmically speaking, you deserve to be dropped into Gitmo or Abu Ghraib, and stay there, because, of course, the government "knows" you did soomething. Consider, too all the fabricated evidence coming out of crime labs. Houston is… [cont.] Answered by cybersharque - Mon Oct 15 09:11:24 2007 How do lawyers make so much money? Q. I know a lot of you make think this is a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway. I know lawyers charge a lot for different services but don't they use that money to pay for court costs, paying assistants, filing fees, recording fees, etc...? Do lawyers make money off of small cases or is it the big lawsuits that rack in the dough? Btw, I'm not trying to bash lawyers at all. Asked by Ilovepeanutbutter - Mon Jul 31 19:12:59 2006 - - 16 Answers - 1 Comments A. It's a matter of volume. A personal injury attorney, for example, might have 100 cases or so, and can expect to win or settle at least 80% of them. Even if each case takes between six months and three years to complete, the attorney generally takes a third fee of the recovery from the case. At that rate, they tend to make a pretty good living, even after paying secretarial staff and overhead. Most cases never make it to the jury - it takes too much time, and most parties would rather have a reasonable settlement quickly, on both sides of the issue. Some attorneys really don't make much money, though. Some work for legal aid organizations that don't pay much, and others take a lot of pro bono (free) cases from which they don't make any… [cont.] Answered by Chris H - Mon Jul 31 19:18:54 2006 Can anyone tell me if there are disability lawyers who do work on Long Island NY?

In most countries, lawyers enter their profession through a period of specialized study. Lawyers are a frequent target of criticism, in part because they are often the public face of unscrupulous parties such as persons being tried for crimes, because they employ a specialized jargon which makes it difficult for persons without a legal education to receive the benefits of the legal system without hiring a lawyer, and because they make up a disproportionate percentage of politicians.
